Three months ago, a longtime fan sent me a voice message late at night, his voice sounding like it had been sanded:
"Bro, 130,000 U is down to 5,000, am I finished?"
I offered no comfort and gave no scolding, just replied:
"Close the contract interface, let me tell you three stories."
Story One: The hunter only shoots after the fog clears
Hunters on the African savannah never chase footprints; they wait for the wind to stop, the fog to clear, and for the prey to lower its head to drink water, then they shoot an arrow to seal the throat.
You are the same. Pull the cycle to 4 hours, and only look at three steps: breakout—pullback—confirmation.
Give yourself three "tickets" each day; once used, shut down, and if your hands itch, take a cold shower.
Story Two: Roll a snowball, not a stone
On the same slope, the snowball gets bigger and bigger, while the stone gets smaller and smaller.
Always use only 10% of your position for the first trade, take half of the profit at 20%, and leave the rest with a trailing stop loss.
Once there's a 5% drawdown, immediately cut the position, do not add to the position, do not average down, do not pray.
Profit is like snow, discipline is the temperature; don't let it melt into water in your hands.
Story Three: The ledger is more honest than the candlestick
I had him buy the cheapest notebook, and after each trade, write three lines:
"Why did I enter, why did I exit, how will I change next time."
After two consecutive losses, he locked the notebook in a drawer and gave the key to his roommate.
Two weeks later, he discovered that 80% of his losses occurred after 2 AM—turns out staying up late was the biggest short.
Three months later, he turned 5,000 into 74,000, sent me a screenshot with just four words:
"Less is more."
I replied to him:
"Real turning around isn't about turning the account, it's about turning yourself."
If you are also in a deep pit, remember:
As long as the capital is there, the table is there; as long as discipline is there, time is your greatest bull.
